I posted this at PassatWorld, but it's even more applicable to everyone here.

In case anyone is interested in some details about the Aero wipers:
- It looks like Valeo / SWF is the OEM for these
- Driver's side: VW - 1J1955425B, Valeo 900215B
- Passenger's side: VW - 3B1955426B, Valeo 900216B
- Both wipers are the same length, but the connection points for the wiper arm are offset by about 3/4", which explains the different part numbers.
- Sometimes you can get good deals on Valeo wipers from RockAuto. I paid $7 per wiper for the ones in the picture.

**Well this is really weird. The URL for this photo is https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-2sloNCd1SZQ/VFDr2XUO2NI/AAAAAAAACsY/aLxdEJpc28Q/s1024/Passat%2520B5.5%2520Aero%2520Wipers.png, but the IMG tag keeps changing the URL and the picture won't show up. In the URL, the 'n' in '-2slon' should be a capital 'N', but every time I change it the forum changes it back to lowercase. So the picture will not display here. Unless a moderator can fix that, you'll have to copy/paste the address above to see the picture.

A few years ago I did the rear aero wiper upgrade on my Passat wagon. I got the little kit from OEMPlus.com, who are now out of business. Buying replacement wiper blades seemed like it would be difficult because they are from a T5 Transporter, which was not sold in North America. You cannot buy them from a dealer in North America and even ECS Tuning wouldn't help. But I found a source - Amazon Germany.

Here is the archived version of the OEMPlus website that shows the kit: https://web.archive.org/web/20130821185327/http://www.oemplus.com/aero-rear-wiper-kit-all-versions-p-43.html

I found the SWF wiper blade (which is the exact OEM part) on Amazon.de for around 10 euros, plus shipping. If you have a normal Amazon account it will work on Amazon.de. A couple weeks later my wiper blades were at my door. The shipping cost was very reasonable, especially if you buy a few at a time.

In case someone wants to do this mod, the other items in the OEMPlus kit are available at any dealer, and they are:
- wiper arm: 6Q6 955 707 C
- wiper arm cap: 6Q6 955 435 D
